Tan Dinh Church
Tan Dinh Church is a Catholic church built in the late 19th century, instantly recognizable for its bright pink exterior — a color scheme that's made it one of the most Instagrammed buildings in Ho Chi Minh City in recent years, somewhat apart from its actual religious significance. It's less visited by tour groups than the more central Notre-Dame Cathedral, which keeps it a bit calmer despite its photogenic reputation.
It remains an active parish church, so visitors should be mindful around Mass times and dress modestly if going inside.
